fix: etcher-util is corrupted in RPM package

rpmbuild strips executables by default when generating an rpm packge.
This was causing the JavaScript code bundled in the etcher-util file
to be removed, causing "Pkg: Error reading from file." whenever
etcher-util was called.

This in turn caused balena-etcher to generate the error message
`Error: (0, h.requestMetadata) is not a function` when attempting
to write an SD card.

This fixes the issue for RPM builds by replacing the `strip` command
with `true` so that rpmbuild no longer strips the executables and
the embeded code stays intact.
